Rethinking Videoblogging Production

After my final class of Videoblogging Production last night, I’m already thinking about how I can do things differently next time. Thanks to my students who provided precious feedback about the course, I’ve decided to organize the sessions much more practically. For example, I’m thinking that the three sessions should be organized as follows:

  • Session I: Shoot
  • Session II: Edit
  • Session III: Upload

This probably seems obvious for folks with experience. My intent with the last course was to focus more on storytelling and less on editing. However, I found that students were interested more on editing to help the storytelling apects of their pieces. So, next time I think I will re-focus the course to follow in a more natural progression.

In the meantime, I posted a link on my CCTV blog about how to capture stills (image above) from a Flip Mino Video camera using QuickTime Pro.

Also, here are two of the finished video blog posts for the course, one by Paula Cohen and another by Susan Needleman.

I look forward to teaching the course again in the fall.
